Ill see what International football brings me once again, but priority is Liverpool. Pleased with my buys, but in fairness, still way off catch you guys, so plan this season will be a top 4 finish again, and a cup or 2. Welcome back to the CL, so who knows

IMO, Utd will be the team this season, with purchases that have been made etc... I think they'll be strong, and hard to beat. Saints, well, champions for a reason, and the regens of Drogba and Messi could prove key, but... is there depth in the squad of the same quality?

So we got another 2 hours in yesterday on this badboy - think the break from SV5 is doing me the world of good as we've had a good run of late on this, despite commitments and connection issues. The game heads towards 5 years old soon, thats right folks, 5 years old

Pepe

His champions, Southampton, have had a tough start, after a loss to Scunthorpe and then a draw against his biggest rivak, Man Utd, he then went on a 2 game run of drawing 3-3 against Charlton and Chesterfield respectively. This sees the Saints with some early ground to cover. A 3rd round exit in the League Cup didn't help matters - is St Marys in crisis? Runners up to Barcelona in the Champs League sees them take their place in phase 2

On the International front, Pepe's Brazil, have won 3 friendlies and drawn 1, since claiming the World Cup of 2070

London

I'm sure he'd be happy with the draw at his rival, not so much on the home draw against Notts County, where he had his GK dismissed, so a few points dropped, but plenty of class depth in the squad in what will be a long tough season. A 4th round League Cup ticket, and safely through with ease in the Champs League 1st phase

On the International front, having taking over the reigns of Germany after dismissal from Spain, a perfect start in qualification for Euro 2072, with 3 wins from 3, although frustration at the friendly loss, to a rival

Myself

Couldn't have asked for a better start, in terms of league, sitting proudly at the top with 12 wins from 12. Although suffering a Pens defeat to old club, Scunthorpe in the League Cup, just scraped through the Champs League 1st phase, but generally, very satisfied. Questions still surround as to weather they can maintain this, and more so, have the depth to do so.

On the International front, my newly assembled Spain, have had a great start, with 3 wins in Euro Qualifying (including a 10-1 win) and bragging rights in a friendly victory against Germany, but it's all about Euro 2072

It feels like it's taking over, hahah, 3 sessions in the last 3 evenings, thank goodness for an early finish tonight

Its all good, but the test is here, the home straight of the season, where the games against one another is gonna be crucial. I'm still reeling from that 0-4 thrashing you gave me Pepe - but all is well that ends ok

Afraid not mate, we've come so far, it would madness to let anyone add in at such a stage. Have a look around, often there's games starting, check the Facebook group too, or you could create a game, and seek a few players

All Mikey's work at Liverpool paid off as he took the men from Anfield to the dizzying heights of the Premier League championship, 4 points ahead of my Saints in 2nd, who finished 11 points ahead of Ian. 10 draws are the main reason for it but as it happened to me a few years back, Ian can easily bounce back.

A Merseyside derby in the FA Cup saw the red side take the trophy home, to complete a first double at the club for Mikey.

The Champions League arrived at St Mary's after a dull final against Liverpool, making it the first Champions League to arrive at the club for 10 LONG years.

Ian's Man Utd retained the League Cup.

Player wise, its all about regens, as we scramble about trying to steal a march on the others to locate the ' next big thing' to replace the older stars.

Speaking of older stars, after over 500 games and 700 goals, RUTA has been allowed to leave Old Trafford on a free transfer. Has Ian got enough quality to replace him and his goals? Will he live to regret his decision?

I gave a press conference last night shortly after concluding this session, I was having a poo at the time but basically, Im really pleased with my progress, I feel Ive the weakest squad of the 3 of us, don't have the funds like my rivals, but came good, so Im ecstatic to claim the EPL not to mention the FA too, and so so close in the CL, but... retaining it? thats another mission. I feel Utd will be a force, regardless of Ruta going, I've seen the players ready to step up. Saints will be battling, Messi is a killer and Drogba too (if hes picked) so who knows.

This is brilliant that this is still going lads. Fair play to you all!

Iím sure youíve told me before, but what data update did you start on this and what patch?

Also, is it a patch that stops all the low scoring games in the future?

This was using the October 2013 Data update, we started it in December 2013
It's Tapani 2.19 Patch, as this was the in patch at the time, so we've maintained it through-out
In answer to this patch stopping low scoring games in the future - I ent got a clue hahah

But yeah, still going strong as we approach the 5 year birthday

The goalscoring drought was fixed in patch 2.17 when tapani created a new code how regens will spawn.

Another short session completed tonight as we head towards Xmas and almost half way through season 57.

Pepe has just claimed the World Club Championships, but if history is anything to go by, it's more hassle than its worth with a fixture congestion expected.

Utd lead the way by a couple points from Pool who have a game in hand, but if Saints, can win their additional games in hand, they'll be top by a couple points. All safely through and kick started phase 2 of the CL. All 3 of us in the League Cup Semi, with Pool against AI and the other 2 rivals clashing

Horrible session from a personal note, out the Champs League on away goals to Real M, and lost the League Final to Pep and his Southampton, and lost more ground at the top - that being said, Man Utd look devastating as their gap increases as Pep also dropped points in the league, as he plays catch up on games (World Club Cup Jinx Strikes Again)

We await the CL semi final draw, if they can avoid 1 another, we'd expect a Saints/Utd final. I think the title is Utd's to lose, they'd have to have a pretty bad run to lose it now. A shock saw Southampton knocked out the FA Cup by Scunthorpe who will me and my Liverpool in the final, my saving grace for a potential trophy

On the International front, London's Germany and my Spain have 1 more friendly (against each other) prior to the European Championships, whilst Pep's Brazil continue to dominate South America

And so, season 57 has come to a close, and let's just say the dreaded curse of playing in the World Club Cup struck again.

The Premier League trophy is taking pride of place at Old Trafford yet again as Ian took the trophy finishing 13 points ahead of me in 2nd and a huge 23 points ahead of the men from Anfield.

The horror show continued at Anfield as Mikey's Liverpool suffered a shock defeat in the FA Cup final as his former employers Scunthorpe hit him where it hurts to send the trophy to a computer controlled side for the first time in over 25 years!

The Champions League was sent to the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid destroyed my Southampton in the Final.

So now we hit pre season, time to ship out the deadwood and bring through the next generation of players.
